HUMANITY ECLIPSE was born in May 1997 from an idea of the ex grind-garage band Bloody Vomit’s singer RICCARDO SQUILLACI and ALFONZETTI brothers, MAX (guitar) and DAVIDE (bass).
In the summer of same year unite them the drummer SALVATORE M. TESTA and GIUSEPPE VIRGILLITO on lead guitar, together came from power-groove band Tri-Strenght.
After months of great live performances around Sicily in September 1998 the band record a demo tape, called THE KILLER TAPE, at TRP Track Record Prod. With Riccardo Samperi on consolle and the supervision of theirs friend Nino “Mezcal” Cardullo of Mistura (now Mystura).
The Killer Tape came released in limited edition (only 100 copies sold-out at once).
In March 1999 Humanity Eclipse enter at Tower Hill Studio for recording their first Demo-Mcd Something Is Really Hard under the guide of Luigi Scuderi (known for his job in two Italian metal masterpieces like Above The Light of Sadist and Sounds Of Coming Darkness of Schizo), with the supervision of Alberto Penzin (ex leader of Schizo/Hit & Run Prod. and today in Camera Obscura Two [CO2].
Something Is Really Hard came mixed and mastered at Fear Studio in Alfonzine (Ra) by Gabriele Ravaglia.
Something Is Really Hard obtain very good responses by several fanzines and metal magazines, and the band have the opportunity to play at the greatest festivals of Sud Italy.

After a mini tour with the melodic deathsters Memories Of A Lost Soul and the gig at Brutal Symphony Fest, in November 2001 Humanity Eclipse split-off because of musical and professional divergences.
On the one side in 2002 Riccardo, Giuseppe and Salvatore with the guitarist Fabio Monaco found the death metal band PULVERIZED (now SPOILSHROUD).
On the other side Max and Davide, after a short time with SLAUGHTERHOUSE, in 2004 found with the ex Schizo’s guitarist Vittorio Blanco and Nails of Faith’s singer Lord Tsade the black metal band GURU OF DARKNESS.
